Another update, close to the final version. I darkened the power axe and the shoulders pads, made some other details, and ttrousers and boots while I still have to paint few details.
I would need to still adjust boots lights and hair, I am thinking to invert the trend and make them clearer, what do you think?
Any thoughts, suggestions, criticism is again most than welcome, thanks for this
cheers
Doc

This mini is very very impressive. I personally love the skin tone, is the skin glazed with a shade of purple? It looks great!

really nice. as realistic as ork can be

perhaps a stronger highlight would be welcome here or there, perhaps some subtle blacklining (e.g. near body armour plates). It's up to you though, he already looks good.

Thanks for your appreciation.
The shadows of the skin are made mixing the basic skin tone with a hull red and some dark blue that gives kind of a violet brown tone. Of course it is a matter of taste and you have to find your mixture
other comments?

IMO skin and red scratched paint are simply awsome, i dunno how did you achieve such an stunning by its realism, effect on both of these but it's just great Doc !

Keep it up paint more, coz its really very absorbing to watch pices like this...

The only thing which i dont really like are the ??scratches ?? of rust on the axe....I just dont get it how the hell this rust would be able to form such a regular scratches, although we can assume that this rust is being concentrated inside deep scratches on the axe, but still there should be some lighter area below it..., but its IMO

Too kind of you Alexander, not sure I deserve such words, but you've made my day for sure..

As far as scratches, I assumed that the axa is not painted, so the metal would be regularly covered with rust, while the mechanism box is red painted and therefore scratched. I admit though that I am not sure what you want to mean, and which part of the axe you are suggesting to improve. Thanks for the feedback though
